Chapter 435 Two Movies, 500 Billion Loans
Nolan quickly said: "Unless the boss of DC changes, otherwise, I will definitely not cooperate with them again."

Gu Chenfeng sighed, and said: "To be honest, it's really a pity that Chelsea and Daniel were not allowed to shoot the film "Batman: The Dark Knight". Its script is still very good."

Nolan nodded with a bitter face, and said: "Who says it's not? If I can direct this movie and you play the role of the clown, I believe it will definitely become a classic production on the world film road."

"It's useless to talk about it now." Gu Chenfeng said: "Director Nolan, have you ever thought about the two of us collaborating once?"

Hearing this, Nolan raised his eyebrows, and immediately became interested, and said, "Mr. Gu, do you have any good scripts?"

Gu Chenfeng raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said: "Now, I have two very good scripts here, one is a disaster movie, and the other is a sci-fi movie about interstellar travel. Is a subject more interesting?"

Of course, the interstellar sci-fi film he is talking about here is not the kind of "Star Trek" before, but a very famous movie on Earth, "Interstellar".

Nolan pursed his lips, and said, "If I had to choose, I'd be more inclined to science fiction films, but your science fiction film "Odyssey" is considered the pinnacle, and I don't have the confidence to break through it."

When Gu Chenfeng heard it, he smiled and said, "Well, let me tell you the plots of these two movies briefly. If you think which one is more emotional, then you can choose which one."

"In that case, that would be great." Nolan said happily.

It took almost two and a half hours for Gu Chenfeng to describe the plots of the two movies.

After listening, Nolan asked a lot of questions, and then quietly listened to Gu Chenfeng's narration.

After the end, Gu Chenfeng didn't let him make a choice immediately, but sat on a chair quietly drinking tea and waiting.

"Whoo~~~"

After a while, Nolan let out a long breath, looked at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Gu, if I say that I want to make these two movies, do you think I'm a little Too greedy?"

"Hahahaha!" Gu Chenfeng laughed and said, "No, I know how attractive a good script is to a director."

"How about this, you can choose to shoot one of them first, as long as the box office profit can exceed one billion US dollars, then I will hand over the other one to you to shoot."

"how do you feel?"

Nolan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Of course it's okay, but I don't understand, you are the director who filmed the pinnacle work of "Traveling in the Stars", why didn't you come and shoot it yourself?"

Gu Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and said: "Because I prefer to be an actor rather than a director. You may not know that in the companies in my country, unless I really can't find a suitable role, I will shoot it myself." Movie."

"Otherwise, at other times, other directors of my company basically go to shoot."

"Especially this kind of film that requires post-production. If possible, I generally would not make it. Of course, "Traveling in the Stars" is no exception, because I just wanted to prove myself at the time."

"At the same time, it is also a testament to the films of Huaguo."

Nolan said solemnly: "Mr. Gu, I will not let you down. By the way, when can you write the script? I want to shoot that "Interstellar" first, although I know that I may not be able to surpass you. , but I still want to try."

For Nolan's attitude, Gu Chenfeng still admired it very much, and thought about losing it: "You give me an email address, and I will send you the script of "Interstellar" before tomorrow morning."

"Great." Nolan asked happily: "Then how much is the investment for this movie, and will you decide the role?"

Gu Chenfeng said: "There is no upper limit on the investment. I will definitely play the male lead. I plan to bring someone to play the female lead. As for the other roles, I will leave it up to you to decide."

"Okay, no problem." Nolan replied.

Although he doesn't like the default role as a director, but Gu Chenfeng's acting skills can be won no matter what kind of role it is.

What's more, he is still the screenwriter and investor of this drama, and he is also a director. In fact, he can direct it by himself. Now it is handed over to Nolan to direct. He only wants a hero and heroine. Nolan will definitely not Say anything.

Regarding the script of "Interstellar", the two talked for more than an hour later, before Nolan left.

Gu Chenfeng personally sent him out of the company. Looking at the tail lights of the car leaving slowly, Gu Chenfeng praised: "What a good director."

When "Interstellar" was on Earth, it was originally Nolan's masterpiece. Gu Chenfeng asked him to be the director of this movie in this world, and it was considered a return to the original owner.

At this moment, Gu Chenfeng's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Mr. Gu, hello, I'm Morrison Upton from Marvel."

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Gu Chenfeng was slightly stunned, and said, "Mr. Upton, what's the matter with you?"

Morrison Upton said: "I would like to invite you to dinner tonight and talk about a very important matter. Do you have time?"

Gu Chenfeng's eyes flickered quickly, and he said with a smile: "The invitation from the president of Marvel, I have to make time even if I don't have time."

Morrison Upton said: "That's great, thank you, Mr. Gu, I'll send you a location, see you at seven in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chenfeng felt a little puzzled. He had almost no contact with Marvel Films. From a certain point of view, the two were still competitors.

This guy Morrison Upton would suddenly invite him to dinner. What kind of medicine is in this gourd?

Is this matter related to DC Corporation?

This guy won't say that he wants to take advantage of the DC company at this time, right?
But Marvel Studios doesn't have such a big appetite now.

Hey, who cares, we'll know when the time comes.

At exactly seven o'clock, Gu Chenfeng came to a restaurant as scheduled and met Morrison Upton.

After the two were polite, Gu Chenfeng asked directly: "Mr. Upton, I am a quick-tempered person. Before eating, you should explain why you are looking for me."

Morrison Upton said without the slightest hesitation, "DC Corporation."

Gu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, and said: "The market value of DC Company is 500 billion U.S. dollars. Their company has more than a dozen Hollywood artists above the top line, and the future development is even brighter. You want to deal with it. Taste Even if it's not easy."

Morrison Upton took out a few photos from his pocket, handed them to Gu Chenfeng, and said, "Mr. Gu, take a look at this first."

Gu Chenfeng took the photos and looked at them. They were all indecent photos of Chelsea and some beautiful women.

"Cheers is worth white clothes. Even if these photos are exposed, it can only be said that his private life is chaotic. If it is in our country, he may be ruined, but in the lighthouse country, it seems that it is not so serious. Bar."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Morrison Upton smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Gu doesn't know much about DC Comics."

"The heroines in the photo are all actresses in the DC TV series, and three of them are female superheroes with countless fans."

"I have a video of them messing around together. If it is exposed, what do you think will happen to the stock price of DC Comics?"

After hearing this, Gu Chenfeng carefully looked at the photo again, and then picked up his mobile phone to check.

These beauties are indeed actresses from the DC superhero TV series.

"Mr. Upton, you really took great pains to win DC Comics." Gu Chenfeng said with a smile.

Morrison Upton smiled, and said: "Since the successful transformation of Marvel Films, I want to integrate DC superheroes and Marvel superheroes together, and now Chelsea, an idiot, for my cousin After such a thing happened, I will naturally not let go of this rare opportunity."

Gu Chenfeng asked with some puzzlement: "Then I don't understand, why did you tell me this?"

Morrison Upton sighed, and said: "Because I want to eat DC Comics, I need at least 500 billion US dollars in capital flow, and now Marvel Studios is developing well, but it still can't get it." So much cash."

In the capital market, market value is market value, and funds are funds, and the two cannot be equated.

The market value of Marvel Studios has reached a terrifying 1 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual profit is only between 500 billion and 50 billion U.S. dollars, so they want to take out 80 billion U.S. dollars at once, which is simply impossible things.

Gu Chenfeng said: "According to what you mean, you want to cooperate with me, but why did you choose me? I believe that there are many consortia or other film companies in Hollywood who will be interested in DC Comics. "

Morrison Upton asked with a smile: "Then will you set up an entertainment company in Hollywood?"

"No!" Gu Chenfeng replied without hesitation.

Morrison Upton said: "This is the biggest premise for us to cooperate. I have asked people to investigate before coming here. You have been committed to buying theaters all these years, and then with the "Harry Potter" series The novel developed a close relationship with the Walt Disney Company, which led to several very successful films with the production and distribution capabilities of Disney Films."

"From your series of actions, I can see that you don't want to set up an entertainment company in Hollywood, even if you already have the ability."

"So I guess you won't be too interested in DC Comics, but this time they put you on the line, I personally think you will want to do something about DC Comics."

Gu Chenfeng asked: "The key is what benefits can I get from this matter? Or what benefits can our cooperation bring to me?"

Morrison Upton said: "Preliminary estimates of billions of dollars in revenue, as well as the friendship with our Marvel Studios, these are all things you can get through this event."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Upton, don't you know that friendship has no value at all in the capital market?"

Morrison Upton was slightly taken aback, and said, "Then you can tell me your requirements or conditions."

Gu Chenfeng said calmly: "I am very optimistic about the future development prospects of Marvel Films, so..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but Morrison Upton already understood what he meant and asked, "Do you want to buy shares in our Marvel Films Company."

"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "It doesn't need to be too much, [-]% is enough."

Morrison Upton frowned and said, "Mr. Gu, your condition is too harsh. On our board of directors of Marvel, those shareholders will definitely not agree."

Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "You have 51% of the shares in Marvel Films, and you have an absolute controlling stake, so why don't you just sell me 10%?"

"This is impossible!" Morrison Upton said immediately: "In the company, I don't need to have an absolute controlling stake."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "I didn't see that your desire to control is really big, but this is similar to me. In this way, as long as I have the right to pay dividends, the right to vote is still handed over to you. This will not affect your opinion of The actual controlling stake in Marvel Studios?"

When Morrison Upton heard it, his face finally looked better, and he said, "If this is the case, it is not impossible to consider, how much money do you plan to pay, Mr. Gu, to buy 10% of my shares in Marvel Films? "

Gu Chenfeng said: "Now the market value of your Marvel company is 1 billion US dollars, and the 500% is 10 billion US dollars."

"This won't work!" Morrison Upton said: "Anyone can see the future development potential of our Marvel Studios. If we can swallow DC, then let these superheroes combine arbitrarily. Our Marvel Movies It will definitely not be difficult for the company's future market value to exceed US$2 billion."

"The premise is that you can swallow it." Gu Chenfeng said: "Bought your Marvel Studios for 150 billion US dollars, 10% of dividend rights, no voting rights, I think this price is not low."

Morrison Upton thought for a while and said, "Yes, but I ask you to give me the money before noon tomorrow."

Gu Chenfeng immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "You want to use the 150 billion US dollars to make money from DC Comics, right?"

Morrison Upton nodded and admitted: "Yes, that's it."

Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, no problem."

Morrison Upton said: "Mr. Gu, in addition to this, you have to give me 100 billion U.S. dollars, but don't worry, I will give you a lot of the benefits from this money. "

Of course, the 100 billion US dollars was used by Gu Chenfeng and Morrison Upton to short DC Comics, which Gu Chenfeng himself knew very well.

Gu Chenfeng said: "Yes, but the money must be handled by my people."

Morrison Upton nodded, "No problem."

Gu Chenfeng said: "I have one more request. After DC Comics is settled, the show "Batman: The Dark Knight" will be mine."

Morrison Upton instantly understood Gu Chenfeng's intentions, and said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Gu really likes the role of the clown!"

Gu Chenfeng said: "As long as you are an actor, I believe that no one can resist the temptation of the extreme role of the clown, including me."

Morrison Arp thought for a while and said, "I can give you this Batman movie, but not the next one."

Gu Chenfeng said: "It is enough to play the role of the clown once, I don't like to play repeated roles."

Morrison Upton picked up a glass of red wine and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation."

Gu Chenfeng also picked up the wine glass, touched him, and said, "It's a happy cooperation."

After talking about the business, the two began to eat.

It has to be said that Morrison Upton was able to lead Marvel Films to success, and he is indeed not a coincidence.

Even Gu Chenfeng felt that Morrison Upton had benefited a lot from Morrison Upton's insights on the development prospects of the entertainment industry and business aspects.

Of course, the shock that Gu Chenfeng gave Morrison Upton was even greater.

···
After eating and returning to the hotel, Gu Chenfeng called Serna.

"Serna, what is the approximate amount of funds in our account that can be used by you now?"

Selna replied without thinking, "There are about 40 billion US dollars in liquidity."

"Too little." Gu Chenfeng said: "You should find a way now, and give me a secret loan of 500 billion US dollars from the bank before noon tomorrow."

Hearing that Gu Chenfeng asked for 500 billion US dollars all of a sudden, Serna exclaimed: "500 billion? My God, boss, what are you doing?"

Gu Chenfeng briefly told Serna about his cooperation with Morrison Upton.

Selna is also a resolute character. After learning that the transaction was profitable, she immediately said: "I will go to the bank to apply for a loan right away, but I need to use Rust's shares as collateral."

Now Durast Company can be said to have a bright future, with a market value of 4000 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the world's most powerful unicorn company, and its development prospects are bright.

During this period, Marko conducted two financings, no matter how much he raised, Gu Chenfeng would deliver a lot of money, so his shares remained at 20.00% from the beginning to the end.

Gu Chenfeng said: "Rast's shares are worth 800 billion U.S. dollars. It may not be easy to release so much in such a short period of time."

"I checked today that the price of Bitcoin has exceeded $3.5. Can we use it as collateral?"

The Bitcoin market is the same as the market in Last, which is in a mess. Gu Chenfeng now owns 62 Bitcoins, which is exactly worth 200 billion US dollars.

Using 1000 billion US dollars in loans to issue 500 billion US dollars, it is estimated that any bank will do this than a transaction.

Selna said: "Bitcoin can be mortgaged of course, it's just the boss, aren't you going to sell it?"

Gu Chenfeng said: "Didn't I say it, after its price breaks through [-] US dollars, it will be sold in batches."

Selna smiled bitterly: "I am mainly worried that Bitcoin is growing too fast now."

"It's right to go up soon!" Gu Chenfeng said: "From the day I bought Bitcoin, I expected this to happen. Do you remember what I said at the time?"
